Super hot take: I’m playing Starfield right now and it just pales in comparison to Cyberpunk. Though they are clearly different types of games, the artistry, environmental detail, dialogue writing, and voice acting are all a clear step down.
Can’t wait til the expansion comes out.
Cyberpunk has one of the best cities I’ve ever seen in a game. If you hang out with the Aldecaldos and River’s family, driving back into the city feels like driving back into a city. It isn’t just going to a location with a lot of NPCs.
Yeah, really a hot take to post in a Cyberpunk community 🙃
Is it? Do you not remember how the official subreddit went mega apeshit bananas for over a year?
Also, have you ever looked at the official Steam forum for this game?
That’s good to hear. I’ve been curious about sf but cp is maybe my favorite game so far. Similar experience with me with Spiderman Remastered. Been playing it, and NYC is so beautiful in it, and the web swinging is really fun, and I like the combat mechanics, buuuut… I find myself missing everything else about cp.
I thought about this too. Especially with how often Starfield breaks immersion Cyberpunk never does unless you switch to 3rd person.
I do try to maintain expectations because it is on Bethesdas engine but I often wonder why they didn’t try a different engine for Starfield.
I bought this game a long time ago, but never played it because it would consistently crash right after the montage scene. With this update, seems maybe a good time to give it a try again. Is there anything the expansion adds to a first playthrough?
As an IT guy, what CPU were you trying to play the game with?
I’m aware of a few early bugs with 2077 that would crash the game on specific CPUs… Just wondering if that was your problem.
Huh weird. It’s an i9-9900K.
I had it crashing right after a certain patricide and I fixed it by installing Nobara Linux and playing it via GE-Proton.
the left column skill tree, AI, etc stuff should change the experience
Yeah, but it seems that all comes with the free update? My question is would it affect anything to buy the expansion, or would it make more sense to play through the game first, then only buy the expansion if I want more content?
I am opting to do the latter. Out of speculation I expect the new guns to come in if you installed the expansion so I wouldn’t be able to differentiate without reading.
Also, I may finish the main game and find the dlc was discounted later on. If I do and it’s still full price no loss as I see this as being a pretty decent dlc unlike EA games.
Daaammn I need to get a move on with BG3 so I’m ready for this. Really looking forward to it!
I’m still bitter about the lack of monorail but … I’ll get over it one day
I heard those things are awfully loud.
Thank you!
So is it fun to play yet? Last time I checked (a couple of months ago), the story was still too complicated, the gunplay was still boring, my choices still didn’t matter, and there was still nothing to do outside of a mission.
At this point I’m not convinced that CDPR will ever be able to fix this dumpster fire of a game.
I’ve heard many complaints about cp2077 but this is first time about story being ‘too complicated’, if anything it was too straightforward and short for my taste. What did you find complicated?
As to answer the question, the game is tons of fun to me. Still janky and far from polished or finished but still fun and there’s nothing quite like it on the market that does it better.
It’s really the opposite of complicated
Gaming these days is weird. Buy a game but still be locked out of content because of what, you are too poor to pay for the meaty bits.
Well, this is expansion, we had paid expansions in the early 2000s, probably earlier.
Blizzard was making expansions in the late 90s and they were amazing. Back when blizzard was the best of the best not the worst of the worst.
Yeah gaming these days, paying for star craft brood wars just to get extra units.
To not even mention recent examples like Total Annihilation: The Core Contingency or Diablo: Hellfire, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal, the list of offenders goes on.
We did and they were awesome. I guess I’m just saying there are two versions here and one of them is better than the other and I find it weird thats all. At least the expansion was all inclusive and not a form of baiting you into missing out on paid features. Things have changed obviously since 2000 but, take the level 60 upgrade. Paid and free are at an obvious disadvantage. The ranking system shouldn’t be something you pay for to be uncapped.
This is not a competitive game it is a single-player game.
